Application. `filed. J une 3,

The object ofmy invention is to provide a deflector plate for stoves of simple and dur-- able, yet inexpensive construction. p

Afurther object is to position suchl a plate in a stove or furnace lso that it will baffle the flames and smoke from the re, and thereby radiate more heat from the flames to the shell of the stove and will also be an aid lto h v y vbly is inserted through the door opening 24, and the nuts 14 are then screwed outwardly consuming the smoke. p.

Still a further object is to provide tubes on the plate to aid in further bafflingthe heat. n

Withthese and other objects in View, my invention consists in the construction, ar-

rangement and combination ofthe various parts of my device, whereby the objects contemplated are attained, as hereinafter more fully set forth, pointed outin my claims, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which: y

Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved baiiife plate. p

Figure v2 is a sec-tion of one of the tubes taken on the line 2 2 of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a side view of my device shown installed in a heating stove, the stove being shown in section.

VFigure 4 shows an additional means of fastening my baie plate to the shell of the stove; and

Figure 5 is a slightly modified form of fastening for the plate.

In the accompanying drawings, I have used the reference numeral to indicate the baflie plate, which is made the same shape as the stove it is to be installed in so that it closely ts the shell of the stove at all points.

Rods 11 are secured to the plate 10 such v as by spot welding, as at 12, or any other suitable manner.

The ends of the rods `1l are bent up at 13 and are threaded to receive the nuts 14. The ends of the nuts 14 are rounded as at 15 so that when screwed outwardly, they will causedents 16 in the stove shell 17, and thus securely hold the plate 10 in any desired position in the shell.

I mount the rods 11 on top of the plate 10 so that the nuts 14 may be easily reached and adjusted by inserting a wrench through the opening 18, which is found on most stoves In the plate 10 are openings 19 lnto which tubes 2O having flanges 21 are inserted.v The 1925. seriaiN-o. 34,610.V I

tubes 20 remain therein, `due to their weight andarepreve'nted from falling through the opening 19 by the flanges 21.

`A screen 22 is placed over the end of each tube 2 0, and held thereon by the ends 23 being turned under the flangev21 or by any other suitable manner such as spot welding.

In installing my device, the entire assemand Aengage the shell 17 K Y In case where the stove has no opening -18 the platelOfmay ,be turned over and the tuJes 2O inserted-from the opposite side so that they aresuspended through the openings 19. The nuts' 14 may then be adjusted through the door opening 24.

As is apparent upon inspection of Figure 3, the plate 10 is positioned a distance above the fire 25 so that the longest possible tubes 2O may be used` and still leave enough space above the plate so as'not to restrict the passage of smoke and gas from tubes 2O to 4the chimney 26. yThe tubes must, however, be short enough not t'o interfere with the ad'- mission of fuel through the door opening 24.

It will thus ybe seen that I have provided aba-iile plate for bathing the smoke and gas, which, in the'ordinary stove, are drawndirectly from the lire 25 and up the chimney 26, thereby excessively heating the back part of the stove 17 and the chimney 26, andcausto be drawn up the chimney and sometimesA fall on the roof and ignite it.

By my arrangement, the smoke and gases rise, duey to the heat from the fire 25, and strike the plate 10. They are then deflected and drawn downward and toward the front of the stove and theninto the lower ends of the tubes 20, due to the draft created bythe fire and the chimney. p

Small particles of paper or kindling are stopped by the screens 21. The smoke and gases then travel to the back of the stove and up the chimney 26.;

By thus making the smoke` and gases follow a long path in the stove, more time is given for the heat inthem to be radiated A desirable in that heating stoves are usually placed With the back part near the Wall and the front part facing the interior of the room. 4

By having the plate over the back part of the lire, the smolie and gases cannot assume a direct path to the chimney'.

If desirable, screws 27 may be inserted through holes made in Ithe shell 17 and screwed into the nuts 14;

In manufacturing a stove having my detlector plate as a part thereof, bars 28 could be substituted for the rods 1l. The bars 28 have ears 29 for riveting` 'them to 'the shell 17 through the holes 30. 1

In this case, the pl te could be merely laid on the bars 28 and the tubes 2O would prevent any turning` of the plate l0. The plate 10 and tubes^20 would then be removable. Y

I have found that a stove having my device installed'therein delivers a more steady heat and greatlyV reduces the fire hazard from sparks even When the screens 22 are not used. It also effects a. great savingv in fuel used.

Some changes may be -made in the construction and arrangementof the various parts 4of my invention, Without departing from the real spirit and purpose of my invention and it is my intention to cover by my claims, any modified forms of structure or use of mechanical equivalents, which may be reasonably included Within their scope.

I claim as Ymy invention:

l. A l'deflect'o'r for heating stoves compris ing a plate suspended above the lire therein, openings in substantially the front half of said plate and'tubes secured in said openings and extending downwardly therefrom.

2. In combination With a stove or the like, a plate substantially the same diameter and outline as the inside of the shell of said stove, means for securing said plate in said shell, openings in substantially the front half of said plate, tubesl in `said open-v ings eXtendi-ng downwardly therefrom and screens covering one end of each of said tubes. I

3. In Vcombination With a stove having a shell, a plate substantially the same diameter and outline as the inside of said shell, means for seciilring` said plate in said shell, said means comprising screw threaded rods fastened to said plate and terminating adjacent the shellof the stove, nuts on said rods for engaging and protruding into said shell, openings in the front of said plate and tubes extending downward therefrom.
